You know, I really love today. This is the fifth Valentine's Day Ethan and I have had the pleasure of spending together. I wish I could tell everyone how much I really love him, but the truth is really simple. There aren't enough cute pictures, fluffy poems or sickeningly sweet face book status' or tweets out there that could put into words how much I really love E. We've been through so much together in such a short time that I cannot wait to see where the future will take us. Last night he went home after we had spent the day together and he was showing his mom and a friend of hers what I had gotten him for Valentine's Day. They laughed and made comments about how it was so easy for us to be young and dumb when it came to love and that as we got older, we'd learn. He sounded so sad over the phone, and in the most humble voice said, "I'm not stupid, you know. I just love her." I started to cry because it wasn't him standing on a roof top, giving me diamonds or serenading me in song; it was a genuine proclamation that he indeed loves me, and that is all I really need.
In reality, today is no different than any other day of the year. My love will be greater tomorrow than it was today, and even more the next. We will exchange "I love you" texts and "just because I wanted to say hi" phone calls like always, and this beautiful bracelet he gave me (early) for this holiday will mean just as much next week as it does right now. But today is a good day to write something such as this, as a very small way of letting everyone know that I'm such a lucky girl.
